09:33 am The 'Windows of the Mind' Affair by Avirra (Rating t some coarse language, some violence/torture)


Fandom: MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E
Pairing: none
Length: 3,757
Author on LJ: Avirra
Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2244444/Avirra

Why this must be read:
We all wonder what Illya was like as a child, the program only gave us small peeks at his earlier life and very few at that. Avirra uses a very deadly Thrush invention to give Napoleon a look at his partner’s life.
This story takes what many of us have imagined from the glances we were given and brings it to life. Her descriptions of that life is so realistic it takes the reader into the past of Illya Kuryakin. This is but one of her excellent stories.

Title: Partners In Exile by Luzula (G)
Pairing: None
Length: 20,168 words

Why this must be read:

(I'm sneaking this in for Crossover Day because it's still the 15th somewhere. *smiles disarmingly*)

I admit the premise of this story was my idea, and when Luzula expressed an interest in it I badgeredencouraged her to write it. Many of us, I'm sure, are already fans of Luzula's writing, her beautiful descriptions of environs, and the lovely way she balances Fraser's surface reticence and his emotional intensity beneath.

Luzula has done a great job of merging the two canons, with Dief as a half Arctic dragon who was Bob Fraser's partner by choice. He teams up with Benton to find Bob's killers, and they are aided and hindered along the way by dragons and humans. It's filled with delightful characters and loads of heart, as the two of them find a way to work with each other.

Fandom: THE EAGLE
Pairing: Marcus/Esca
Length: ~90k

Why this must be read:

So I'm an AU nut, what of it? Esca is a house master at a 50s boarding school and Marcus is the new Latin teacher. The canon is really neatly updated here with the post-WWII setting providing the divide between Italian Marcus and the rest of the British staff. Esca's reluctant slide towards friendship as Marcus sets about trying to charm him is a perfect delicious contrast to the freezing backdrop of the story. It has lovely realistic OCs, adorable food-tasting, and the UST is to die for.
